60s: I have a store

Chapter 488: Naive or Ignorant

Soon, this matter spread throughout Zhoujiazhuang.

When the villagers of Zhoujiazhuang heard the news, they were extremely shocked and angry.

They all came to the house where Zhao Qiang was imprisoned, wanting to see who this vicious person was.

For a moment, the house was surrounded by villagers, and everyone was talking about it.

"How can this person be so cruel that he actually wants to destroy such precious wheat." An old lady said angrily, her face full of anger and confusion.

"That's right. If the old branch secretary hadn't forbade me to do anything to him, I really wanted to go up and beat him up." A young man waved his fist, anger flashing in his eyes.

The villagers were very emotional. They could not accept that someone wanted to destroy the hard-earned scientific research results. If it were not for the old branch secretary's strong dissuasion, I am afraid Zhao Qiang would have a hard time leaving Zhoujiazhuang alive.

Zhou Yimin and members of the investigation team returned to their temporary residence. They began to organize the evidence of Zhao Qiang's data destruction and prepared to report it to their superiors.

During the sorting process, everyone felt very heavy-hearted.

"This incident has sounded the alarm for us. We must strengthen the protection of scientific research results in the future." Captain Cheng said seriously, his eyes revealing firm determination.

"Yes, we can't let this happen again." Expert Wang nodded in agreement, his face full of worry.

Zhou Yimin said at this time: "Uncle Wang and Captain Cheng, don't worry, I will go to the old branch secretary to discuss it now, and I will definitely ensure the safety of the experimental field."

After receiving Zhou Yimin's reply, Captain Cheng and Expert Wang felt relieved.

Zhou Yimin found the old branch secretary. The old branch secretary was sitting in the yard. When he saw Zhou Yimin coming in, he smiled kindly and said, "Yimin, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhou Yimin walked up to the old branch secretary with a serious look on his face and said, "Old branch secretary, I'm here for the experimental fields. Zhao Qiang's incident this time has reminded us that there may be people like him in the future, so we must strengthen the protection of the experimental fields."

The old branch secretary stopped what he was doing and listened carefully to Zhou Yimin's words. After listening, he nodded slightly with a worried look on his face: "You are right, Yimin, we really need to strengthen protection.

However, it is still a bit difficult to provide protection 24 hours a day.

Our village's security team doesn't have many people, and we have to maintain the village's security, so we can't spare too many people to guard the experimental fields."

Zhou Yimin had anticipated such difficulties. After thinking for a moment, he put forward his own ideas: "Old Party Secretary, I think the village security team should recruit more people.

As the village's industries grow, the security team is always short of manpower, which is unacceptable. There will definitely be similar important achievements in the future, and we must prepare in advance."

The old branch secretary sighed helplessly and explained the difficulty: "Yimin, it's not that the village doesn't want to expand the recruitment, but the village doesn't have so many weapons, so it would be useless even if we expand the recruitment."

In our time, everyone thinks that weapons are the only deterrent. Without weapons, how can we control the situation?
Otherwise, the old branch secretary would have expanded the security team's staff long ago. If there were enough people, this incident might not have happened.

Zhou Yimin had lived in the future and knew very well that it was not necessary for everyone to be equipped with weapons.

He smiled and told the old secretary some ideas of later generations: "Old secretary, it is not necessary for everyone to have weapons. It is enough to ensure that there are enough weapons for the staff on duty.

For example, the security team is divided into several groups to take turns on duty, and each group is equipped with corresponding weapons when on duty. This can not only meet security needs but also solve the problem of insufficient weapons.

Moreover, we can strengthen the training of our team members and improve their capabilities and qualities, which is more important than the sheer number of weapons."

The old branch secretary listened to Zhou Yimin's words, his eyes widened, and a curious expression appeared on his face: "Yimin, you are worthy of being able to come up with such a good idea. Why didn't I think of it!"

The old branch secretary highly appreciated Zhou Yimin's idea. He felt that this method was both practical and could solve the current dilemma.

After getting the recognition from the old branch secretary, Zhou Yimin felt relieved.

He knew that only by ensuring the safety of the experimental field could scientific research work proceed smoothly.

The old branch secretary acted decisively and immediately began to arrange personnel.

He first called the members of the security team together for a brief meeting.

The members of the security team came to the yard of the old branch secretary's house one after another. Everyone was discussing it one after another, and they all attached great importance to the protection of the experimental fields.

"Comrades," the old branch secretary said solemnly, standing in the middle of the yard, "Now that such a big thing has happened to the experimental field, we must strengthen its protection.

Starting today, we have to rearrange the shifts to ensure that the experimental fields are always guarded.

During the day, the inspection team is busy there, so we can arrange fewer people. But at night, we have to arrange more people.

Everyone should work hard for a while. Once the inspection team finishes the inspection, you won’t have to work so hard anymore.”

After hearing what the old branch secretary said, the members of the security team nodded to show that they had no objection.

They all knew that this was their duty. Moreover, if Xiao Li had not discovered what happened to Zhao Qiang in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Old branch secretary, don't worry, we will definitely protect the experimental field!" The team members expressed their opinions one after another, with firm determination revealed in their eyes.

After the meeting, the old branch secretary discussed the specific duty arrangements and personnel deployment with the team leader in private.

Based on Zhou Yimin's suggestions, they developed a detailed duty roster to ensure that there were sufficient personnel and weapons to ensure the safety of the experimental fields in each time period.

Zhou Yimin was very pleased to see the old branch secretary act so quickly.

He knew that with the full support of the old branch secretary and the security team, the safety problem of the experimental field had been temporarily resolved.

But he also understands that this is just the beginning, and security measures will need to be continuously improved in the future to ensure that scientific research results are not threatened in any way.

After arranging the protection of the experimental field, Zhou Yimin did not forget Xiao Li's contribution in this incident.

He knew that if it weren't for Xiao Li's vigilance and decisiveness, Zhao Qiang's conspiracy would have probably succeeded. So Zhou Yimin found Xiao Li alone.

Xiao Li was sorting out some equipment for the security team. When he saw Zhou Yimin coming in, he stood up quickly and said, "Uncle Zhou Shiliu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhou Yimin smiled at Xiao Li and took out a package from his back, which contained a pound of pork and ten yuan. He handed the package to Xiao Li and said, "Xiao Li, this time it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't discovered Zhao Qiang's conspiracy in time, the consequences would be disastrous. This is a reward for you, as a token of everyone's gratitude to you." Xiao Li looked at the pork and money in front of him, his eyes widened in surprise: "Uncle Sixteen, this... this is too expensive, I can't take it. I just did what I should do."

If he was an ordinary villager in Zhoujiazhuang, he would definitely accept it, but he is a member of the security team and this is his job.

Zhou Yimin stuffed the package into Xiao Li's hands and said, "Don't refuse. You deserve this. Your sense of responsibility and vigilance have helped us preserve our scientific research results. This reward is a recognition of you. If you don't accept it, I will be unhappy."

Xiao Li didn't twist Zhou Yimin's arm, and finally took the package. His face was filled with an excited smile: "Thank you, Uncle Sixteen, I will definitely work harder in the future!"

This matter quickly spread among the security team, and the team members were excited when they heard it.

Everyone expressed that they would like to perform their duties conscientiously like Xiao Li in the future and contribute their own efforts to the safety and development of the village.

Some team members even began to fantasize that if they could also perform meritorious service at the critical moment, would they also be rewarded by Zhou Yimin?

Zhou Yimin's move not only inspired Xiao Li, but also greatly boosted the morale of the entire security team.

Everyone understands that as long as they work hard and contribute to the collective, they will be recognized and rewarded.

As the security team gradually implemented the work of protecting the experimental fields, Zhoujiazhuang returned to its former tranquility.

The work of the investigation team is also proceeding in an orderly manner. They have conducted more in-depth research and analysis on the scientific research results, striving to make every piece of data accurate and correct.

During this process, Professor Wang was not idle. On the one hand, he assisted the inspection team in their work, and on the other hand, he began to think about the next scientific research plan.

He knows very well that the cultivation of high-yield wheat is just the beginning, and there will be more challenges and opportunities waiting for them in the future.

As the days passed, the experimental field remained safe and sound under the protection of the security team.

Wheat thrives under the nourishment of sunshine and rain, as if telling the hope and future of scientific research.

The villagers of Zhoujiazhuang have gradually returned to their previous pace of life, but they all have more expectations for scientific research results and visions for the future.

After experiencing this incident, the members of the security team have become more united and responsible.

They patrol carefully every day according to the duty roster, guarding the experimental fields and the peace of Zhoujiazhuang. They know that their work is ordinary but of great significance.

Zhao Qiang, who was imprisoned in that dilapidated house, not only had no intention of repenting, but the resentment in his heart grew like weeds.

He sat in a dusty corner, staring blankly at the door that was firmly locked with a big padlock, and the scenes of his desire for revenge kept appearing in his mind.
He gritted his teeth and thought that after he got out, he would definitely teach the entire inspection team, Zhoujiazhuang, and especially Zhou Yimin a hard lesson, so that they would know the consequences of offending him.

In this era, many people have a weak sense of law, and Zhao Qiang is one of them.

He naively believed that as long as he did not kill or burn anyone, he would not have committed an unforgivable crime.

He regarded his actions as just a small mistake made on impulse, and had no idea how much potential harm his behavior had brought to scientific research results and national agricultural development.

He kept making excuses for himself in his mind, trying to justify his mistakes, and was completely immersed in his own distorted world of thinking and unable to extricate himself.

Zhao Qiang’s current situation is like that you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

If it were put into the future, Zhao Qiang would have a unified name, which is "legal illiterate".

On the other hand, the inspection team was fully engaged in the detailed inspection of the experimental wheat field, racing against time to not miss any details.

Members of the soil testing team, holding professional instruments, analyzed soil samples over and over again, striving to ensure that every data was accurate and correct, from pH to the content of various trace elements.

The members of the wheat ear measurement team carefully moved through the wheat fields, carefully measuring the length and weight of each wheat ear and recording every data conscientiously.

They are well aware that this scientific research result carries the expectations of countless people and must be foolproof.

After several days of hard work day and night, the investigation was finally completed successfully.

Captain Cheng and his team members gathered together and looked at the piles of data reports, with gratified smiles on their faces. All the data showed that the wheat in the experimental field not only met expectations in all indicators, but also the actual growth and yield were even better than what was shown in the data.

This is undoubtedly good and exciting news, which means that the scientific research results of Zhou Yimin and Professor Wang are true and reliable. Once promoted, they will make a huge contribution to solving the food problem.

Expert Wang and Zhou Yimin were very happy when they heard the good news, as it proved that their efforts were not in vain.

After the inspection, Captain Cheng began to arrange follow-up matters.

They no longer had any reason to stay in Zhoujiazhuang, as there were more important tasks waiting for them to complete when they returned.

However, the issue of how to deal with Zhao Qiang gave Captain Cheng a headache.

Considering the dangerousness of Zhao Qiang, they were worried that Zhao Qiang would escape during the escort, so they decided to trouble the people of Zhoujiazhuang to help escort Zhao Qiang back.

If Zhao Qiang escaped, they would be in trouble, otherwise they would not have troubled the Zhoujiazhuang security team.

When the villagers of Zhoujiazhuang came to the house where Zhao Qiang was imprisoned and prepared to escort him, Zhao Qiang behaved unusually calmly and showed no signs of escaping.

He was still making his own plans in his mind, fantasizing that as long as he returned to his superior unit and begged his leader, based on the time he had worked here and the so-called "hard work", the leader would definitely show leniency and forgive his mistakes.

He even naively believed that this matter would eventually come to nothing and that he would soon be free and continue his previous life.

On the way to being escorted, Zhao Qiang remained silent, with a confident smile occasionally on his face, as if he had already seen the scene of himself being forgiven by his leader.

The villagers who escorted him looked at him warily, fearing that he might make any sudden move.

Along the way, there were only the sounds of footsteps and the occasional cries of livestock, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

This reaction shocked the Zhoujiazhuang security team and the investigation team. Could it be that Zhao Qiang had some unknown "backup plan"?
